Socipathy and N

[poetprose]

Hello I was wonderfing if anyone had any good links or knowledge on the differences between a person diagnosed as "Sociopath" vs/ the Narsasist?

I had a conversation with my shrink a few years ago in regards to my father, and she thought from what I described from my childhood that my dad probably did exhibit some sociopathic traits

yet i see N traits in my husbands side of the family (what a wonderful combo huh?)

Hi

Here is a link to a forum http://thepsychopath.freeforums.org/ that you can check to see if it suits. I'm sure suggested reading links are there.

Psychopathy is next to anti-social.

You can also Google 'anitisocial' to see what pops up in ways of informative reading.

Good Luck

XN read Sam Vs writings on NPD and agreed that this was how he was........... some time later he told me he was a sociopath.  Looked this up on google and yep, think they are so closely linked I have to agree with him.......... interesting it must be the only thing we really did agree on.

axa,

Wow I'm amazed that he even said that.

Mine would say he knew people like that but he could not directly relate to it. He said that he was arrogant and more intelligent then most people on the planet and he did deserve things, had an affair but it didn't mean anything it was just sex. Oh yes and he was very good looking but he realized that he maybe was only (arrogant)about that. I should be proud cause everyone that knows him knows that he would never go with a dog he only picks good looking women. Then he would stop and think he had alot of the traits and in the same sentence say he didn't.   
That sociopath and narcissist people are really sick.   



 
Uh-huh!!! and I wonder why sometimes I felt crazy after talking to him.
Now I laugh. They can be so STUPID

This would make a great mastercard commercial.  Me and N in therapy with the therapist, sitting on the couch N speaking showing little clips of episodes of my life with N. Last shot therapist and me smiling N out of the picture, Ending with the regular master card saying PRICELESS
Love

Deb,

He tended to admit it when I would push his madness straight into his face.  He also used it as an excuse to rationalize his "bad" behaviour!!!  One of his best lines was that it was not him doing the bad things it was the evil spirits who had invaded him.  He even went to a shrink to get rid of the spirits......... well that is another story.  Sometimes I wonder was I crazy to stay and listen to that crap.

Like the mastercard ad!!

What I am finding is the more distance I get from him the more I see how insane he was.  Its incredible how easy it is to get sucked in to even discussing their weird behaviours with them.  The one thing I do know for a fact is that he KNEW what he was doing.  I believe my Nparents were completely unaware of the pain they caused but he was completely aware and planned the games.  Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.  I feel as if I have been contaminated by him.
